Russian Finka-NKVD KGB Folding Pocket Knife,3.74" Mirror Polished X12M Steel Blade,Aviation Aluminum Inlaid Resin Handle,Cowhide Sheath (Black handle)

I only ever had one other automatic when my state started to allow them again. Over a hundred bucks for what was obviously mirror polished stainless like so many other knives out there, and only got it for the novelty anyway.This feller? I saw it browsing around and figured I'd get one just because it looked pretty dang cool.. Long story short, I ordered one more not long after I got this one. One to use and one to save. Thing impressed me right out of the box.Not 420 stainless steel, and NOT d2 tool steel, is always a plus in my book for a knife, and I didn't know what to expect from the alphanumeric jumble of steel type, but dang folks right out of the box it's a solid shiny wicked sharp little utility.Grip is light but firm, doesn't feel slippery, and weights just right so it doesn't buck when you flip it out. I gave it the paper test right off the bat and it passed. Think I found my new veggie chopper when I'm wandering around the garden later this year lookin for a snack, and one on standby for 30 years down the road when I've shaved it down into a little nub of its' former self from sharpening lol.Opening mechanism is a recoil spring which I've never seen on a blade before. Not sure how long that'll last, hopefully a long time because I'm just instantly smitten with it. Opening and closing takes a bit of getting used to, as I'm of the stock that tries to find the release on the back end to close it. This one closes the way it opens.Definitely seems worth more than the price tag, no brainer.

The media could not be loaded. This is a well functioning switchblade that is fun to play with, cool to look at, and does its job if its job is light use cutting such as letter opening or box cutting ect. It is a two piece handle with cheap steel, so I wouldn't be trusting this thing with a lot of pressure on it such as hunting or camping, but that's not what its designed for. It is very light weight and has a satisfying smooth crisp release. I give it 5 stars for its great astetics and operation knowing it is made of cheaper materials. Also comes with a nice little leather sheath.

Excellent Quality. Surprising that amazon is selling an automatic knife. In any case, glad they do. This is a great knife for the money. Solid construction and cool Soviet style.

Not a bad auto knife for the price. Actually nicer than I thought it would be. It is lightweight, and that's a good thing if you carry in your pocket. The blade deploys quickly and locks up tight with no play. Blade came reasonably sharp. Unique appearance with the Russian emblem. Came with a decent leather belt case that I'll just use for storage. Knife was made in China. If you're looking for a different knife for your collection I would recommend.

The frame was ground too thin on the lock button side. The aluminum is too thin to hold the screws for the handle. It will need repairs to work.After using it a awhile. I'm really liking it. I treated all the screws with thread lock and glued the one handle scale to the frame. I've been using it a lot. It's light and stronger that it seems. Very handy.It has some manufacturing errors like stripped screws, but somehow, it works. Great blade grind and shape. O.K. steel.I'm waiting for another to arrive.

I ordered the white handled model back in July. I couldn't believe how cool these knives are so had to get the black handles! They are an affordable, good looking, greatfunctioning knife I wouldn't have thought to be available. Super sharp and really nice leather Sheath. Would definitely recommend!! Just get one, you'll see.....

Very well made, works great. A lot of attention and detail when it's making this knife

I bought this for the novelty of it. It functions great and looks cool. Quality is absolutely not in this knife! Cheap garbage handle with cheap plastic scales, has a bolster coil spring, 2 piece body with NO spline, blade lock is the button so just keeps it open NOT LOCKED up! THIS KNIFE IS NOT FOR CARRY AS IT WILL FAIL IF USED. NOVELTY PURPOSES ONLY!!
